pnrelv Personal Mission.

WASHINGTON, September 6.-The de-
parture OF Secretary Bayard from Wash
ineton this morning prevented the Chinese
envovs and Count Mitkiewiz from calling
mon him. Nothing is known at the DE
partment OF State of the nature OF the
concession, beyond that contained in OIL
cial advices from the United States Consul
at Tientsin, already published. Unless the
viceroy's letter throws new light upon the
matter, the officials OF the department are
at loss to know how the United Soates
can aid the ENJOYS in the rejection OF the
concession. or even recognize them OIL
cially, as it appears that their mission is
purely personal.

ness men of Great Falls, were read. All
were in favor Of Cascade. The Select
Committee, who had the Cascade County
under consideration, consisted OF the men,
bers from Choteau. Lewis and Clarke, and
Meagher. They presented a minority and
majority report. The majority recon-
mended that the bill, as amended, do pass.
and was signed by Taylor, Gorham, Tit
man and Knouse. The minority report
vas against the passage OF the bill IN any
form, and was signed by Muth
and Buskett. The amendments
changed the boundaries by making
the Dearborn River the southern line, sub
stituted the name Of G. B. Downing for that
of George Steele for the office "f Sheriff, and
giving Meagher County $4,000 instead OF
S. 900 as a portion of the debt assumed.
Muth moved that the bill, amendments
and reports be placed on general orders.
| TAYLOR amended the motion by having the
amendments adopted. Muth stated that
no provision was made in the bill for the
payment of the debt of the portion OF the
county taken from Lewis and Clarke. Tay-
lor saic the officers of Lewis and Clarke had
stated to the Councilman from that county
that the northern portion OF Lewis and
Clarke owed the balance of the county moth
ing, as Lewis and Clarke's assets were far
in excess of her liabilities.
BROWN MADE VIGOROUS PROTEST
against Taylor's amendment. He said
that he wished to throw nothing in the
way OF the machinery or the axle
grease that was running the bill. But hi
wanted time to know what he was about

An Indian Outbreak Threatened.

WINNIPEG, September 6.-[special to The
Miner, by the Rocky Mountain Telegraph ]
-Advices from Calgary report that trouble
is feared among the Blackfeet Indians.
About ten days ago an Indian was shot at
by q white soldier for some trifling cause
and seriously hurt. His tribe were much
incensed, and at one time it was thought
they would attack tho assailant. After a
few days the wounded Indian died, and
the news was sent through all the tribes.
Simultaneous with this another Indian
named Deerfoot escaped from Jail at Calgary
and reached the reservation. The police
demanded his return, but the young
braves refused to divulge his hiding place.
Consequently, on the morrow two
large detachments OF mounted police, under
Col Herchmer will proceed to the reserva-
tioa from Calgary and E9ft Mcleod and
effect Deerfoot's capture Another force
has been detached from Regina as reserve.
With the present excited state Of feeling
among the Indians serious trouble is feared
and the residents of Calgary feel the most
lively alarm. The Blackfeet are the most
powerful tribe in the northwest and would
be terrible foe if they went on the war
path. There is also no doubt but if they
break out the other tribes. notably the
Crees, will follow them on the war path.

Old SorreI.

Mr.. Frederick Webster, the taxidermist,
of Washington, has spent many months of
labor on the work of mounting "Old Sorre,"
as Jackson's favorite steed was called dur
ing his last years. Although the horse is
reproduced as true TO life as it is possible to
make him, yet only the hide end the hoofs
are there.
Just one year ago Mr.. Webster was sum-
moned to Richmond, Va, to perform the
last sad rites, which in his art are the first,
on the horse Old Sorrel breathed his last
surrounded by the veterans of the home,
who had found peculiar pleasure in kind
iy caring for him in his last days. 1t was
not unnatural that those who had so ten
derly nursed him for the memories that
clustered about him should have turned
aside to brush away the tears when the lit
tie horse died.
His epitaph is simple, but between the
lines speaks volumes:
